Phoenix, Arizona The Arizona DREAM Act Coalition, an organization composed of immigrant youth and their allies, laments the Supreme Court decision which upheld section (2b) of the law that allows authorities to ask individuals their immigration status if there is a reasonable suspicion the individual is undocumented. We believe the section being upheld are conducive to racially profiling citizens, legal residents, and undocumented immigrants and therefore do not provide equal treatment under the law.

We respectfully disagree about the constitutionality of the decision and we will continue to educate our community on how we can overcome the implementation of this section so the impact to the people in our state is minimized.

We encourage the community to stand firm, to not panic, and to stay informed.
